Eldorado National Forest closes dirt roads during wet conditions between November and May. The main office number 530-622-5061 might help you get current conditions, which aren't always updated on the website. fs.usda.gov/detail/eldorado… When the road is closed, simply park on a pullout of Wrights Lake Road and walk the extra mile.

Description

Follow the obvious right facing corner right of "Over Easy". Do some roof moves and belay. Continue to top.

For me, the crux was a bit heady - decent but not great protection where you have to pull the crux slick-slabby-chimney move. Good warm-up before jumping on Fear of Flying which has sustained slick-slabby-chimney moves!

Great route, takes gear well, technical and physically strenuous crux. If you put in good pro before the crux, nothing to worry about, but it's heads up just enough to keep it interesting :) Roof moves are straightforward and jug-tastic, extra points for running it out to the chains!

The crux protects well with a #5 black diamond nut right in the bottom so you can still get your fingers in above it. After the crux it eases up a lot and the roof is a cakewalk after the thin cracky crux

A nutty climb overall with a bit of everything. Got a good nut placement on crux, face moves, one of those squarish nut jobs would have been great. For roof move, if you go right you'll get a better view. Protected it with opposed nuts, ~1".
